As illustrators, our copyright is the most important and valuable thing that we own.

But has a client asked for a copyright assignment before? Or just assumed that they would own all the rights to your work? The AOI are here to help you navigate this tricky situation!

With our new empowerment campaign ‘Keep Your Copyright’, we’re aiming to make information about copyright and licensing accessible to everyone, whether you’re a new graduate, self taught illustrator, or in need of a recap.

Join us in celebrating the launch of our new campaign with this free online event. We will cover:

1) An introduction to copyright and licensing, giving you the knowledge you need to succeed.

2) Negotiation tips and tricks, to help you push back on copyright assignments and achieve better contractual terms.

Together we can protect our licensing-based industry and champion our fellow illustrators !

Find out more about our ‘Keep Your Copyright’ campaign, and how you can get involved.
